The Collings Forum

If anyone has a mahogany Winfield that they would like to sell please email me at c18picker@gmail.com

Thanks!

Just saw Austin Vintage Guitars has one listed (no personal affiliation or knowledge).
May be worth checking out. The price is in line with others I have seen, it is on their facebook page, and they have had it a while---maybe worth a look.

Thanks Cat for this valuable post! A fantastic guitar at a great price!! Won’t last long!!!

Cat,

Thanks for the heads up! I’m going to call them today and see what’s up with the top. I think I might have to make a run at it.

Thanks! I called yesterday and talked to Steve, who was very nice. Perhaps he is the owner I’m not sure, but he’s going to have his luthier check out the repair cracks to confirm they are good to go, which it sounds like they are. It has been a while since I’ve played a Winfield, and even over the phone I could tell how loud it is even with old strings which Steve was talking about. Hopefully this one will be on the way in a few days, that’s a really great price which is in line with the repair. I’m ready to pick the fire out of it!

All,

I’m officially the new owner of a mahogany Winfield:) It will be headed my way this coming Monday. Austin Vintage are fantastic people, I highly recommend! Thank you Cat!

congrats Flatpickin!
I did not do anything, but only noticed the ad while looking at Collings models on their website, and passed the info...happy for you.
Play it well and often!
